What this book is about
This volume combines A Tale of Two Cities — Dickens's historical novel of the French Revolution and one of the most read novels in the English language — with The Mystery of Edwin Drood, Dickens's final novel, left incomplete at his death and still debated by scholars. The pairing offers both Dickens at his most dramatically complete and Dickens as tantalizing fragment.
